I have a physiotherapy appointment at North Walsham cottage hospital this morning, so I gulp down my 2 mugs of tea and take the dog for an early walk before driving to North Walsham. I’m a few minutes early for my appointment, so I pop into the town centre to buy some firelighters – I used the last ones up a couple of days ago, and am now running out of newspapers to light the fire with. I spend almost an hour on the motorised exercise bike, which I’m pleased about, and then return to Southrepps.
While I’m still standing and moving about, I fill the log basket and light the fire (I’m feeling the cold at the moment), and then organise the gas cylinders in the back garden that have just been delivered. I take the dog for another walk before darkness falls, and then sit on the sofa in front of the fire until my wife returns from work.
